he TrueOrigin Archive comprises an intellectually honest response to what in fairness can only be described as evolutionism—the doctrine of strict philosophical naturalism as a necessary presupposition in matters of science history (i.e., origins). This doctrine is abundantly evident in much material advocating the Neo-Darwinian macro-evolution origins model, including—but not limited to—the “Talk.Origins” newsgroup and the “Talk.Origins Archive” website.

Advocates of evolutionary theory practice evolutionism when they routinely invoke (and dogmatically defend) naturalistic and humanistic philosophical presuppositions, and arbitrarily apply those presuppositions to their interpretation of the available empirical data. This fact (which many of them zealously deny) severely erodes evolutionists’ credibility, and effectively disqualifies them from any claim to objectivity in matters concerning origins and science, though much material is published by evolutionists under the pretense that it is the product only of purely objective and unprejudiced scientific inquiry.

The contributions posted at this site give some expression to the “other side”dispelling the two most popular myths perpetuated by most advocates of evolutionism, namely:

1.

The myth that the Neo-Darwinian macro-evolution belief system—as heavily popularized by today’s self-appointed “science experts,” the popular media, academia, and certain government agencies—finds “overwhelming” or even merely unequivocal support in the data of empirical science

2.

The myth that the alternativebiblical creationsomehow fails to find any compelling, corroborative support in the same data

The question of origins is plainly a matter of science history—not the domain of applied science. Contrary to the unilateral denials of many evolutionists, one’s worldview does indeed play heavily on one’s interpretation of scientific data, a phenomenon that is magnified in matters concerning origins, where neither repeatability, nor observation, nor measurement—the three immutable elements of the scientific method—may be employed. Many proponents of evolutionism nevertheless persist in claiming exclusive “scientific” status for their popularized beliefs, while heaping out-of-hand dismissal and derision upon all doubters, spurning the very advice of Darwin himself.

This site is one answer to such unreasonableand unscientificpractices...

Is the Inverted Retina Really “Bad Design”? (Peter W.V. Gurney)reveals significant details commonly “overlooked” by skeptics who cite the human retina as “evidence” against the Creator, and (therefore) for evolution.

Origin of Life: Instability of Building Blocks (Jonathan Sarfati)demonstrates that producing a few chemical ‘building blocks’ lends far less credibility to the ‘naturalistic origin of life’ (abiogenesis) hypothesis than popularly imagined.

Hydrothermal Origin of Life? (Jonathan Sarfati)demonstrates the logistical weaknesses in the popularly touted hypothesis that life could have arisen in a submarine hydrothermal vent.

Why Abiogenesis is Impossible (Jerry Bergman)Empirical science fails to lend credibility to the popular evolutionary assumption that life could have arisen as a product of purely natural processes.

Homology in BiologyA Problem for Naturalistic Science (Jonathan Wells)shows how without an empirically demonstrated naturalistic mechanism to account for homology, design remains a possibility deniable only on the basis of questionable philosophical assumptions.

Pseudogenes: Are They Non-Functional? (Pierre Jerlström)A synopsis of John Woodmorappe’s recent essay showing how testable and repeatable science is displacing the evolutionary concepts that pseudogenes are nonfunctional and can be used in establishing primate phylogenies.

Hox (Homeobox) GenesEvolution’s Saviour? (Don Batten)Early acclaimed only as evidence in support of evolution, subsequent research has revealed these genes to yield far less hope than evolutionists initially thought.

Reappraising the “Crown Jewel” (Ashby Camp)shows that the evidence for the alleged “reptile-to-mammal transition” (frequently cited as proof of evolution) is much weaker than evolutionists would have one believe.

The Rise and Fall of Skull KNM-ER 1470 (A.W. Mehlert)Early enthusiasm over this ‘human-like’ find has been quietly dissipated by new bone-scanning technology, skull 1470 now appearing to be that of an australopithecine.

The Privileged Planet: Showdown at the Smithsonian (Jerry Bergman)relates how (once again) hysterical evo-scientism fundamentalists pressured the Smithsonian (a taxpayer-funded institution) to conform to their dogma alone in its “science” offerings.

Origin of Language and Communication (Harrub, Thompson & Miller)examines the origin of speech & language, the anatomical and physiological requirements, and the uniquely human ability to employ speech for communication.

Creationism.com (T. Wallace)yet another anti-creation website, which—in its original (July 2003) form—began dispensing falsehoods with its very first sentence.

Does the Bible say Earth is Flat? (J.P. Holding)challenges Paul H. Seely’s arbitrary (and erroneous) use of equivocal biblical language in claiming that the Bible teaches that the earth is flat.

The Tablet Theory of Genesis Authorship (Curt Sewell)presents the “tablet theory” concerning the origin of the written record of Genesis, affirming biblical reliability and man’s inherent literary nature.

Creationism (Helen Fryman)a brief, but informative treatment of the myth that the Creation/Creator concept is foreign to all but the Christian worldview.

The Battle of Beginnings (Carl Wieland)review of Del Ratzsch’s book analyzing the evolution/creation issue for Christians.
